Sounds more triumphant than haunting, but that's not a bad thing. Excellent soloing throughout, with the final minute being particularly great.

Carries the momentum of the H/S/F prior, leading to a fast version with some great Jerry solos.

McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

Despite the cut at the beginning and a few lyrical flubs, this is still a passionate early one, with the recent disaster of Altamont haunting it.

McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

Fantastic one! The band sounds like they're about to combust while Pig gets the audience amped up. Great on every level.

A super friendly and uptempo version. Love the organ on this one - so soulful and fun.

Toasty, and coming out of an incredible "Playing" sandwich, the band is all fired up. Jerry's vocals near the end are nice and aggressive!

Never heard this before, and I'm not sure how - I'm absolutely speechless. Just...wow.

Love Pig's organ, and of course, his wonderful soulful singing. Jerry's on point too.

Probably my favorite non-song the Dead ever did. Funky as hell!

Holy SMOKES, this one is hot! A big highlight of this show.
